CHAPTER TWELVE: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES PART TWO
(TEN DAYS LATER NO POV)
"WELCOME BACK to this race of the century as you know my name is Gavin!"
"And I am dan."
"What awaits good sir because someone thought that waiting ten days for a race to begin was an idiot," said Gavin "I mean why not add wings to the car and fly to Japan?"
"That is something that would be impossible gav.," said dan "and it adds suspense to it all"
"Bad way to add suspense." said Gavin "but let us tell you how this race is going to work for today!"
"Gladly mate! So the ships that are going to be dropping off our participants are right in Tokyo japan specifically close to the endgame of this race but there is a catch." said dan
"That is right the whole city has been turned into a maze and even though that all the Tokyo prefectures are a hundred or so miles from Kokoro, because of the maze they need to find there way out of the city which adds another hundred or so miles to the trip itself!" said Gavin
"But no fear! each vehicle has an overhead view of the maze itself!" said dan "that way the race will still be a race!"
"But since Aizen's vehicle is a demon from hell that can fly he will not get one for the sake of fairness!" said Gavin
"And now with that out of the way LET'S GET TO THE RACE!" shouted the duo
(with Ichigo)
"Again are you ready for this?" asked Ichigo
"Yha you look horrible," said Rukia
And that is true Aizen look like he was awake for ten days straight likely because he was up for that amount of time and to add on to it he was about to pass out at any moment.
"I am fine." said aizen "I don't need sleep or food to live."
"Right ex-soul reaper." deadpanned Ichigo
"Anyhow, aren't we going to race?" said aizen
"He is right about that," said Rukia
"Ok then." said Ichigo before turning toward one of the soldiers "WERE READY!"
"Ok then get in you damn cars!" said the attendant
(Ichigo's pov)
"Babe do you have the map?" I asked
"Yup. and I will be your guide for this Ichi just don't do anything stupid like you did last time," said Rukia
"Hey you know that plan worked for the better even though it was stupid," I said
"I am not denying that… just saying it was stupid," said Rukia
"The race is about to begin yet again!" said one of the attendants
"Prepare yourself." said Rukia "this might be a long one."
"It's going to be the end of this either way." said Ichigo "in one semblance of the word this is going to be the end."
"Why do you say that?" asked Rukia
"Because this battle won't end with the race." said Ichigo "I have a feeling that it won't end there."
"Well whether that is true or not let's not take it to heart now." said Rukia "so then let's take this race in stride."
"Gladly," said Ichigo with a slight smirk appearing on his face
(no pov)
(play: TOKYO DRIFT by teriyaki boyz)
"HERE WE GO! THE RACE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN IN 5" shouted one of the attendants
"4'
"3"
"2"
"1"
"GO!"
And they were off blasting off of the ship onto the docs and after a few miles into the center of Tokyo japan with both of veering off into different directions afterward and Ichigo was booking it to the max only stopping to turn around whenever he hit a roadblock but even then he stopped doing that after a few moments of running into roadblocks and just jumped over them (what I never said the could not do that) and going to the proper path, and this cycle continued for a while until both of the made it out of the city with aizen in first because he had a flying hollow to help him get through the maze-like city.
(Ichigo pov)
"Oh shit." said Gavin over the radio "aizen is in the lead."
"Too true Gavin!" said dan "but don't count Ichigo out just yet as you can see he is gaining on aizen extremely quickly!"
And while that was true he was still much faster than me for some reason even though this car was designed to be the fastest car in the world… so why was I being left in the dust? Why was aizen winning so easily when this whole time he was dead even with me?
"Rukia remember when you said to not try anything stupid."
"Yha why do you ask?" said Rukia
"I am going to try something stupid," I said
"I think that might be warranted here." said Rukia "do you want to use project A.E.G.I.S?"
"Sounds fun." I said before hitting a switch on my dash with my free finger "activate the nitrous."
"On it." said Rukia "nitros are active."
"Then let's do this," I said as I move my hand over a button that said BOOST in big bold lettering.
(no pov)
And then suddenly Ichigo's car bursts out ahead of aizen in a flurry of green flames and even though the burst was for a few seconds it was enough to go even with aizen who soon caught up with the dynamic duo only a few seconds later.
"Shit." cursed Ichigo
(Ichigo pov)
"How the hell did he catch up so fast?" asked Rukia
"Don't know and don't want to know." I said," but right now we might need to do it again."
But that was before I felt something, a hand grabbing my shoulder, and as I turn to see who it is touching me I see this form of an obunogasha in pure white clothing staring at me with a smile across her face.
'What the hell?' I thought
The figure suddenly fazed through the car like it was not even there and when it was out of the car it summoned its naginata and pointed it over at a ramp truck and a building
And then I went for it.
I launched myself over aizen and using the momentum I trusted myself into first and after landing using the A.G.I.S straight into the lead, And then the victory.
